Rev. Bishop, G. II. Cain, of the

Peach Culture in Florida.

Alachua County is, beyond doubt,
the home of the peach in Florida.
There are several leading varieties
grown here, which are prolific bearers
and the fruit of which brings the most
remunerative prices. Prominent
among these are the Peento. which has
frequently sold in the early markets at
nine dollars per dozen or seventy-fve
cents per peach; and the Honey, or
Kennard. Both of these ripen very
early and are very luscious fruit. They
are hardy and vigorous growers. espe-
cially adapted to our soil and climate.
One of our peach growers, who has
shipped more than one thousand boxes
of oranges, will also ship this season
as many cases of excellent peaches, to
say nothing of his LeConte pears,
Japan persimmons, grapes, straw
berries and other small fruits.
But few years since an aged man,
broken down in fortune and in health,
came here and entered largely into
peach culture. Success has attended
his efforts. and to-day he is in easy and
comfortable circumstances. 1t is true
that he also cultivates the orange,
grape, banana, Japan persimmon, Lee
Conte pear and other fruits, but his
eminent success may be attributed to
the peach, which began to yield him an
income the second year.
Another remarkable thing connected
with the growing of the peach here.
may be found in the fact that there is
never a total failure, but invariably a
fair crop is produced and the prices are
always remunerative. The fact is, we
raise as fine peaches as may be found.
l have frequently seen them weighing
from ten to fourteen ounces, delicious
in flavor, beautiful in color and luscious
as possible. ID. H., in Farm, and Fire

field where they had gone was 40 bare
as II fire had passed over It. Mr..
Dunn knowing that his entire seventy
acres would be swept away in few
days, and his corn and other crops
would soon be at the mercy of the pest,
he set about to check their ravages,
Having 1875 hogs of his own and bor-
rowing all his neighbors' hogs, num-
boring about $50, he turned all of them
into the pasture, and when they struck
the worms the rapidity with which
they disappeared was wonderful. For
twelve hours the hogs held high car
nival and did not leave the worm dis
trict for clover, water or any other
purpose until every worm had been
devoured. The line of march of the
worms was quite distinct, not sprig
of clover to be found where the
worms had passed. Mr.. Dunn says
ditching is a partial protection, but
nothing is so effective as drove of
hogs. Eat them out is the remedy"
and hogs will do it and grow fat. -
